Most portable apps are already portable programs packaged with unnecessary junk files and a splash screen, there's a few exceptions of course.

btw nowadays wesnoth is at 1.10.- instead of 1.8 so the information is invalid.

new version out

I don't know how to play chess, and thought this game would help me learn because it said its "more suited for beginners". I even selected "Novice" in the game choice, and each game went so fast, I was Checkmated before I knew what hit me. I'm sure this is not a game for beginners like me with no knowledge of the game, but its misleading to say its "more suited for beginners". It should say for beginners with some knowledge of the game.

Just wanted to warn anyone who might be a beginner like me and might want to download the game.

If you're a perfectionist, this game has one fatal flaw: The ships are not the same as in the original game. The biggest ship in this game is 4 squares long, not 5.

Otherwise, it's a perfectly adequate battleship clone.

Loner on 2012-04-04 01:38

No help files, no ability to turn ships around to face various ways, and as you can see from the screenshot, the game looks very busy with all sorts of yellow flags, life preservers, ships etc....its not appealing to the eye, nor is it fun playing.
